 Some years ago the people of H. linois were frequently visited by a ''ped-dler and his pack Every body got to looking for ''Pat' as they looked for the kline at even. tide.

Tire fertile county of Nevada is too rich and the people too much on. the progressive or. der to be pasturing the black.head- and-greentail monstrosity tor po- litical ascendency purposes.
